Smile is a good way to start the day

The Pastor asked if any one in the congregation would like to express Praise for answered prayers.

A lady stood and walked to the podium. She said, “I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Jim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was smashed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn’t know if they could help him.”

You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.

She continued, “Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Jim’s scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place.”

Again, the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jim and the wire wrapping he has.

She continued, “Now, Jim is out of the hospital and the doctor’s say, with time, his scrotum should recover completely.”

All the men sighed with relief. The Pastor rose and tentatively asked if any one else had anything to say.

A man rose and walked to the podium. He said, “Good morning, I’m Jim and I want to tell my wife, ONCE AGAIN, the word is STERNUM.”

What is the moral of the story…….?

Be careful of the words you use and laugh or a smile is a good way to start any day.
